Calculate Budgeted Cost
The Budgeted Cost of a project is the total cost associated with the project as estimated when you plan the project.
Overview of Budgeted Cost in a project
You cannot manually change the Budgeted Cost of a project. Adobe Workfront calculates the Budgeted Cost using the following formula:
Budgeted Cost = Resource Planner Budgeted Labor Cost + Budgeted Expenses Cost + Fixed Cost of the project

The Resource Planner Budgeted Labor Cost in the calculation above is the cost associated with the job roles in the project.
You can track the Budgeted Labor Cost of a project in Resource Budgeting area of the Business Case or the Resource Planner.
